Where Did You Study Dentistry?

Dr. Bradley received his undergraduate degree from Penn State University before going on to earn his dental degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

He has taken the core curriculum at The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and is also active in The Spear Continuum, having attended a number of classes at their headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as being active in a local Spear study club.

One of his primary interests is in the field of conservative esthetic dentistry and the use of composite resin to achieve lifelike restorations. He has taken numerous courses at The Center for Esthetic Excellence and has been an active follower of some of the leading instructors both in the US and abroad. In particular, he has traveled internationally to study with Dr. Newton Fahl to broaden his horizons with respect to technique and materials.

Dr. Bradley has integrated new technologies such as Invisalign® and Botox to help facilitate completing more complex cases. He’s also qualified to evaluate and treat mild to moderate sleep apnea as well as temporomandibular disorder (TMD- commonly referred to as TMJ) using computerized Neuromuscular Jaw Tracking.
